Subway exhibit at NYPL
Another NYPL exhibit of note features
William Barclay Parsons, the first chief engineer of the subway system. In collaboration with the New York Transit Museum, the
Science, Industry and Business Library presents Parson's correspondence with subway-financier August Belmont, photos of subway construction, early subway tickets, and other reports on the early system. Note also the related programs, especially the lecture on tunnelling.
